Today:
Under 8 SF/SD (-110)
One of those special games where it seems everything is in alignment.
Pitching: Both teams starting staffs have been getting the job done as of late.Today Cain and Williams face off.Since joining the rotation Cain has been solid and improved in each start (2,1, and 1 ER per start respectively).Williams has been a little weak on the road but has pitched well lately and has had success vs the Giants in previous starts this year(2-0 record, only 5 ERs in 13ip).Both pens have been fabulous recently as well...SD 2.40 era L10 and SF 2.97 L10.
Offense (or lack thereof): L10
Giants batting just .258 and avg only 3.48 rpg
Padres batting only .248 and avg 3.44 rpg
Neither team going deep on a regular basis.
These teams combined to hit .352 in yesterdays game (25 hits)...which is head and shoulders above recent avgs.Maybe Bonds has sparked the Giants O..I dont know,but I do know he sitting today along with Alou and possibly no JT Snow.
Ballpark....The under is 8-2 in SF home games when there is little to no wind...today partly cloudy,5 mph winds is the forecast.
Umpire: 63.5 % strikes on 273 pitches per game.....5.8 bb,makes this guy pitcher freindly.
